Condense before breed

[DB]

Good evening all,

If you have a pal worth breeding, and spare pals of that breed with no use, is there any benefit to condensing a few to beef up the one you're breeding? does it have any effect on the egg?

Nope. It was datamined and confirmed (and tested anyway) that condensed vs non-condensed makes no difference in breeding

edit: if you're interested there is a lot of resources that explain the math behind, but what DOES get affected through breeding:

passive skills, IVs (this might be why you would think that condensing makes a difference, but no, its just the IVs), and actually I am not entirely sure I have to double check but active skills might be passed too, but not sure on that one. passive skills and IVs though definitely. Also its pretty unanimous, unless you're really hardcore, trying to breed perfect IVs AND passive skills is pretty insane. Also completely unnecessary, until there actually is some form of PvP.

Appreciate the detailed response, thank you
